Bryce Young Cleared to Start vs. Packers as Panthers Bolster QB Depth

The team added veteran Mike White for depth following Brady Christensen’s move to injured reserve.

Overview

  • Young was removed from Friday’s injury report and is slated to start Sunday at Green Bay after missing Week 8 with an ankle sprain.
  • Andy Dalton revealed he broke the thumb on his throwing hand, practiced on a limited basis, and will serve as Young’s backup.
  • Carolina signed quarterback Mike White to the 53-man roster using the spot opened by Christensen going on injured reserve with a torn Achilles.
  • White, who has started games for the Jets and spent time with the Dolphins and Bills, provides experienced insurance at quarterback.
  • Dalton was sacked seven times and committed three turnovers in the 40-9 loss to Buffalo, underscoring the need for stability as the 4-4 Panthers visit the Packers.
